the best rookie pitcher in the NL this year

[Blackout]

but still not the best rookie on his team

[Greenranger]

Stephen Strasburg and his 79K's. He's realy only had one bad game so far the other day against the Marlins. Plus Starsburg is a starter, Venters is only a relief pitcher.

but relievers have an effect in more games

plus Strassy missed 2 months in the minors

He has pitched more than 50 innings so this counts as his full rookie season. Plus with all the hype surrounding him I will be shocked if he dosen't either win the NL ROY or finish second in the voting.

Hayward has it on lock

he's easily the best rookie this year in terms of having an effect on a team (and a pennant winner)

and he is the best player period.

I think it will be close. I think Heyward and Strasburg will finish one two, but I think Heyward is hardly a lock at this point. He's batting .259 with 12 HR's and 51 RBIs. Stasburg has an ERA of 2.97 and also has 86 K's in just 11 starts.

And Atlanta is winning nothing, The Phills will take it in the end.
